HTML5 / CSS3 Competition

Your Challenge

Write an article that shows off the power of HTML5 and CSS3, the new bright standard flag under which all browsers can fly. Show us the
future of the web, freed from the shackles of square boxes and 1990's thinking.
Your choice is to teach us how to do it with the clearest, simplest, and most
enjoyable tutorial possible, or just show us what it can do by blowing our
collective minds. Animation, the canvas, transitions, local storage, drag and
drop, sockets - or all of it mixed up in a bucket. Go crazy.

The Loot

The first runner up wins an eBook, the second runner up wins a Code Project t-shirt and mug, and the best article overall
wins an iPad® 2.

I started programming more than 42 years ago using AutoCoder and RPG (note no suffixing numbers). Programs and data were entered using punched cards. Turnaround between submitting a job for compilation and execution was about 3 hours. So much for the "good old days!" Today, I particularly enjoy programming real-time software. I consider myself capable in WinForms, Mobile Apps, and C# although there are occasions that I yearn to return to C and the Win32 API.
